Question

According to the Belmont Report, implementing the principle of respect for persons involves: Making it clear to subjects that they may withdraw from a study. Ensuring that risks to subjects are no more than minimal. Ensuring that subject selection is fair. Providing compensation that is commensurate with time requirements.

Answer 1

Answer:

Making it clear to subjects that they may withdraw from a study.

Explanation:

The Belmont Report establishes the three basic ethical principles and guidelines for research involving human subjects :

1. Respect for people: test subjects should enter into the research study voluntarily and with adequate information, and they should also be able to withdraw from the research study at will.
2. Beneficence : the subjects should not be harmed and all risks should be minimized.
3. Justice: researchers must not include individuals that are part of groups that will not benefit from the research study, and you must balance who benefits from the study v. who carries the burden of the study.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ensuring that risks to subjects are no more than minimal.

Explanation:

According to the Belmont Report, implementing the principle of respect for persons involves:

Respect for persons: protecting the autonomy of all people and treating them with courtesy and respect and allowing for informed consent. Researchers must be truthful and conduct no deception;

Beneficence: The philosophy of "Do no harm" while maximizing benefits for the research project and minimizing risks to the research subjects; and

Justice: ensuring reasonable, non-exploitative, and well-considered procedures are administered fairly — the fair distribution of costs and benefits to potential research participants — and equally.

Therefore the issue of risk minimization to subjects is highlighted under the second point of Beneficence.
